1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311

The centering is just so extreme that it does offset the other great aspects of this specimen. I think centering really drives desirability and perceived beauty on this card.

Centering brings the overall score down. For the collector that isn’t a centering nut, this is a stunner. Absolutely amazing image and colors.

Centering on this card for me is like a gate the card has to pass through. This centering, which is off both ways, only allows it into the C Level and because the rest is nice it makes it right to the B Gate, yet entry there is denied.

Nice color and sharp except for the off centering which is hard for me to get over

Centering.

sweet looking card but Wow the Border shift is severe and affects the centering and overall look of the card. The Colors and images POP the borders are bold and nice and clean. A couple of minor white dots (like the one one to the right of the head) but not glaring

Off centered.
